REMEDIAL MASSAGE – SPORTS MASSAGE – DEEP TISSUE – TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

REMEDIAL MASSAGE & TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

Remedial massage is an effective way to relieve pain and tension throughout the whole body. The manipulation of soft tissue relaxes the muscle, improves joint mobility and enhances range of motion. The techniques used depend on the location, severity and the type of pain.

Trigger Points are hyperirritable spots in the muscle fascia caused by postural strain and repetitive use. They may be initiated or perpetuated by many physical, chemical, or psychological stresses. Trigger points can “trigger” local and also referred pain when pressed or when active they cause pain without any pressure. To diffuse Trigger Points direct pressure is applied to the area. Releasing these Trigger Points calms the nerves and elimination of discomfort results. Trigger Point Massage is ‘not relaxing’.

Hunching over a computer is one reason people have neck and back pain at some point in their lives as well as headaches and shoulder pain. Muscle and joint problems can be caused and or made worse by poor work station (desk) design, bad posture and sitting for long periods of time.

Weather you are doing lot’s of physical exercise, preparing for a sports event, or sitting at your computer all day ‘Remedial Massage’ in combination with ‘Trigger Point Therapy’ is an effective way to eliminate pain and discomfort as well as speeding up recovery time.

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is an effective way to treat neck and back pain, sciatica, muscular spasms, arthritis, and frozen shoulder. It is a manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to relieve pain and tension. The focus is on the whole body, stretching tight muscles and other soft tissues of the body. The massage techniques used depend on the location, severity, and type of pain. The goal is to relax the muscles, improve joint mobility, and enhance range of motion. Remedial massage can also help reduce stress, boost endorphin production, and lower blood pressure. The main goal is to help your body heal itself and improve overall health.

Deep Tissue

This technique is designed to work the deeper aches of the body releasing chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct pressure of friction applied across the grain of the muscles. This invigorating experience uses the elbows, thumbs, forearms and knuckles to slowly work into the deep layers of muscle tissue.
The effects of Deep Tissue Massage can take several days to fully be absorbed. You may feel stiff and sore (typically this is a sign that stored toxins within the tissue of your body are working their way out much like a good, hard workout) but you should NOT be sore from the therapist using too much pressure.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage focuses on the muscle groups relevant to the particular sport, lessening chances of injury, assisting in the natural repair of the specific sore muscles, promotes greater athletic endurance and performance, speeds up recovery period by flushing the muscles of lactic acid and assists in rehabilitation.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Points are hyperirritable spots in the muscle fascia around the nerve receptors forming mainly in muscles which have been overused or injured. Increased muscle tension is the primary effect and pain being the secondary effect. To diffuse TP’s direct pressure is applied to the area. Releasing these TP’s calms the nerves and elimination of discomfort results. Trigger Point Massage is ‘not relaxing’.

Active trigger point

– a trigger point that is always tender, that refers pain at rest, that is very painful when compressed and that will activate a characteristic twitch response in the muscle when adequately stimulated.

Latent trigger point

– a “hidden” trigger point that is symptomatically pain-free until palpated. It may still be responsible for referred pain or autonomic phenomena.

Satellite

– this is a trigger point that becomes active because it lies in muscle that falls within the referral pattern of another trigger point. Successful resolution of the satellite trigger point will only happen when the primary is released.

Secondary

– this is a trigger point that becomes active because a synergist or antagonist muscle to that of the primary trigger point is overloaded due to presence of the primary active trigger point.

Referred pain

– pain that is caused by trigger point but is felt a distance away from the trigger point.

Characteristics of a Trigger Point:

Trigger points can present themselves as a dull ache, tingling, pins and needles, hot or cold, as well as create symptoms such as nausea. Common characteristics are increased muscle tension and muscle shortening.
– acute pain when pressed
– localised pain or a referred pain e.g. trigger point in the thigh can cause knee pain
– restricted movement
– throbbing or dull consistent pain
– lack of flexibility
– weakness in muscle
– join pain
– hard knot or marble like shape

Causes:

– sudden trauma to musculoskeletal tissue; muscles, ligaments, tendons, bursae
– injury to intervertebral discs
– repetitive motions; excessive exercise and muscle strains due to over activity
– lack of activity (seated or standing postural stresses); sitting at the computer or a broken arm in a sling
– nervous tension and stress
– chilling of areas of the body; sitting under air conditioning duct
– virus
– systemic factors; nutritional deficiencies
“Even a slight compromise of a muscleʼs energy supply or of its energy enzyme systems will perpetuate trigger points.” SIMONS

Trigger Point Therapy Benefits:

Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy are amazing and the list is long.
Just to name a few:
– relieve headaches
– alleviate neck and back pain
– increase flexibility
– increase range of movement
– release muscle tension
– relieve joint and muscle pain
– injury prevention

Releasing Trigger Points:

Static compression (pressure) is applied while the client breathes deeply.
– digital ischemic compression (D.I.C.)
– PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation)

The action flushes the toxins and calms the nerves. Releasing trigger points releases endorphins so the result is elimination of discomfort as well as being energised.

Trigger Point Therapy is not relaxing, “fluff and buffʼ technique. It requires the participation of the client to communicate the presence and intensity of pain and discomfort on a scale of 1-10. The therapist and client work together as a team to maximise the effectiveness of the treatment.

It is common to find great improvement after one treatment. Repeated treatment may be necessary for those with chronic trigger points. (Three sessions in ten days with two or three days rest in between sessions is usually recommended, then weekly, fortnightly etc.)
